3.3. OIL RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY
1. Bolt the double tank mount brackets to the frame with 3/8” x 2-5/8” u-bolts
3/8” washers and 3/8” nylock nuts (Figure 3.2).
2. Secure the 43 L oil reservoir is attached to the double tank mount brackets
using two 25” gear clamps joined together.
Take care not to crush the oil reservoir when tightening hose clamps.
The reservoir must be mounted so that the oil level remains above the
gear pump (use general purpose ISO 32 oil).
To reduce weight at the intake end, mount the tank as close as possible to
the axle of the auger.
